Dear Debra, what beautiful decorated mantel-so real christmas- with the fabolous Madonna- and child- that is a treasure.And I love your pots on the old books- and the shine from the chandelier, in your beautiful mirror.Hugs, and smiles-Dorthe

I never would have thought to paint the pots. That was brilliant. I mean they were already beautiful, now they are elegant. I would love for you to link this inspiring post to our new blog party that we are launching today.

So pretty. I was in Raleigh (NC) last week, and I saw the most beautiful religious print...made me think of you. Makes me wish I had bought it and mailed it to you, but I wasn't sure if you collected just Madonna/Jesus or more.

Oh Debra your Holiday Mantle is Lovely!Joining the Blog Party a bit late... but better late than never, right? *Winks* Thanks for Hosting such a Fun Blog Party each week, I really look forward to seeing everyone's entries.
